Stretching what? My point is that this is standard operating procedure. Missionaries know what happens with SFC items when they are no longer on post. Some of the items my parents will eventually sell will likely be older than eight. The ones who are stretching are those who are trying to present it as an anomaly or a vindictive move. Once again, I believe it is possible that a part of this policy is the recognition that these monies that are given and written off are buying items not to be deemed actual personal property.
If someone donates an item directly to a missionary, I'm sure it is legally and ethically viewed differently than SFC monies.
